Freezing rain is occurring across much of North TX. Ice is building up on trees and powerlines and will result in sporadic power outages especially in the Ice Storm Warning area by tonight. While most shouldn't lose power, there are things you can do now to prepare! #dfwwx #ctxwx

What to do if there is a power outage? Always make sure your phones stay charged & report it to your electric company via phone call/website.

Prepare for power outages by bundling up, making sure you have flashlights, batteries, & an indoor safe heat source if possible!
